hello all. i am happy i found this site, for sure. however i make my entrance into this fine community with a heavy heart. i stumbled across you, while researching my local gold getting grounds ie mariposa/merced river area California, mothe load. well as you can imagine i found and fell in awe with EagleDown! i have hung on every word with true motivation to go find what i know is waiting for me to discover. to say i was excited to somehow manifest a day, a moment to shake his hand and listen to the multifaceted wisdom he exuded with such purity. the world needs beacons of his brightness, to show us a rarely seen example of humankind. that of the heart of a eagle and as true as the softness of down. Eagledown i look forward to walking in your footsteps and i will keep an ear open to your voice whispering to me in the wind.
now about me, i love long walks on the ........ really what i want to say is i love nature, like adventure, like discovering, like problem solving so yes i think i am a prospector by nature. i was born to find cool things. to unearth the past. so i may blaze a trail into the future. i want to dredge but never have yet. i have a gold bug 2 and have found nothing but trash yet. i have a sluice box and i have found gold with it but i ended up selling it and my wife's wedding rings on time 15 years ago when we really needed some money. i also sold my number one Alaskan gold nugget i drew in a raffle on italian bar with the LDMA that time. i am eager to learn, and i look forward to finding Treasure.
ps if anyone is in the mariposa/mered river area and would be willing to show me some fun stuff let me know. thanks.
